Praktische Theologie im Wissenschaftsdiskurs

Practical Theology in the Discourse of the Humanities

Edited by: Christian Bauer, Amy Daughton, Martina Kumlehn and Ralph Kunz

ISSN: 1865-1658

Overview
Volumes

Practical Theology reflects in its sub-disciplines the conditions of how Christianity constitutes itself in the modern age. It is increasingly perceived in a dual hermeneutic of culture and religion. The series Practical Theology in the Discourse of the Humanities aims to make a significant contribution to the fundamental research and critical reflexivity of the discipline by pursuing an encyclopaedic dialogue with systematic theology, including theological ethics, and at the same time engaging in interdisciplinary conversations with philosophical and theoretical cultural approaches.

Volume 30 in this series

Everyday things and artefacts are the focus of practical theology in the context of material culture research. The chapters in this volume take up this development. They shine the spotlight on things like bells, holy anointing oil, candles, pulpits, books of maxims, calendars, seat cushions, tattoos, masks, and smartphones, and unfurl their aesthetic, religious-cultural, and practical theological relevance.

Religiöse Erfahrung und ihre transformative Kraft

Qualitative und hermeneutische Zugänge zu einem praktisch-theologischen Grundbegriff

Sabrina Müller

The author approaches the phenomenon of 'religious experience' through a qualitative study in which young, urban people from Europe and the USA are empirically examined. It becomes clear that individuals themselves are constructive agents of experience and theology. Religious experience manifests itself as a transformative perspective of hope in the lives of young people.

Practice, Practice Theory and Theology

Scandinavian and German Perspectives

Kirstine Helboe Johansen, Ulla Schmidt

Volume 28 in this series

How might practice theories and engagement with practice contribute to and advance theological study of religion and religious life and practices?
This volume explores and discusses how theological engagement with practice, theoretically as well as empirically, might profit from theories of practice developed in disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, education and organisational studies during the recent decades, but so far scarcely employed within theology.
In part I, the volume unfolds key components of practice theory, especially as they have more recently been developed within sociological practice theories, reflect on their significance and potential with regard to theology. In part II, these perspectives are employed in the study of concrete religious practices - established as well as experimental religious practices, and collective as well as individual ones.
By unfolding connections between theology and practice theories, and reflecting on practice theories' analytical and theoretical potential for theological study of religion, the book will be of interest for any scholar in the study of contemporary religion and practical theology.

Volume 27 in this series

"Theology" and "economics" are two opposing logics of action in conflict with one another that collide in some Christian actors. This volume defines their relationship and makes a confessionally influenced suggestion for their integration within the scope of a theological economics.

Ambivalenz und Dynamik

Eine empirische Studie zu Religion in der häuslichen Pflege

Annette Haußmann

Volume 26 in this series

Relatives provide most home care required but they are often ignored in terms of their own needs and burdens. Theological and psychological theory underpins the empirical long-term study that shows that religion may be an ambivalent and dynamic phenomenon in dealing with a radical life event and evokes the need for a differentiated experience of religion.

Machtvergessenheit

Deutungsmachtkonflikte in praktisch-theologischer Perspektive

Thomas Klie, Martina Kumlehn, Ralph Kunz, Thomas Schlag

Volume 25 in this series

The concept of “interpretative power” is a response to the latent “power amnesia” of the hermeneutic tradition and is meant to show the interrelationship between interpretation and power. The essays in this volume address both the conditions of religious and ecclesiastical communication and their specific manifestations in various fields of activity such as mass, church ceremonies, pastoral care, religious education, and service to others.

Volume 24 in this series

What role does speaking of truth, certainty, and evidence play in the communicative contexts of practical theology, and what are the implications for liturgical and scholastic learning processes? Essays from different disciplines reflect on the conditions for communicating truth, and essays on practical theology focus on the communicating “experiences of certainty” and “experiences of evidence.”

Theologische Kulturhermeneutik impliziter Religion

Ein praktisch-theologisches Paradigma der Spätmoderne

Andreas Kubik

Volume 23 in this series

Do the phenomena of implicit religion make church Christianity obsolete? This book offers the first comprehensive theory of theological cultural hermeneutics. Based on Tillich’s cultural theology, it proposes the preconditions and implications for this paradigm of practical theology and interprets them philosophically. The church is not obsolete, but instead, faces an identity conflict that practical theology can help resolve.

Religion in der Öffentlichkeit

Digitalisierung als Herausforderung für kirchliche Kommunikationskulturen

Kristin Merle

Volume 22 in this series

Understanding the relationship between church and the public today demands reflection on the transformation processes unleashed by modern media. This study explores how changes in communicative behavior have shaped public discourse and the genesis of social formations. The empirical part of the study on online religious communication underscores a required activity in today’s church life.

book: Pluralisation and social change

Book 2018

Pluralisation and social change

Dynamics of lived religion in South Africa and in Germany

Lars Charbonnier, Johan Cilliers, Matthias Mader, Cas Wepener, Birgit Weyel

Volume 21 in this series

How can one describe the pluralisation of the religious realm, which is of such significance for processes of social change? How can it be done from an international perspective? The book sharpens the idea of religious pluralisation by elucidating it against the backdrop of specific religious phenomena and practices. Concepts and interpretations of religious praxis are correlated here in a way that has proven most fruitful in the field of Practical Theology.

We take a closer look at twelve highly relevant topics that are formative for the practical-theological discourses in South Africa and Germany: poverty and wealth, education, transitional rites and passages, health, religious community formation and the future of the Church, beginning and end of life, transformation of the media, migration and interculturality, populism and radicalisation in religion and knowledge, processing of the past, communal living.

Each topic will be introduced by one scholar from a certain country and commented on by another. The conversational procedure contributes to a contextual theology that understands theology essentially as dialogue. In all contributions pluralisation is the overarching topic. It shall be developed as a conception and theory respectively, both of which are not self-evident their theoretical implications must be explicitly unfolded.

Zeichen im System

Eine ästhetische Poimenik in systemtheoretischer und semiotischer Perspektive

Lydia Kossatz

Volume 20 in this series

This study explores an aesthetic paradigm for pastoral care that turns practical theology into a science of perception. Using Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory and Umberto Eco’s semiotics, the study develops a coherent theoretical framework for pastoral care, which accurately encompasses the multidimensional processes of communicative events in pastoral care.

Kirchengebäude in urbanen Gebieten

Wahrnehmung – Deutung – Umnutzung in praktisch-theologischer Perspektive

Sonja Keller

Volume 19 in this series

Church buildings often represent major local religious, cultural, and historical spaces. The continued survival of many church building in urban German-speaking areas is threatened by reform effects. This study examines the different contexts for the existence and experience of church buildings and shows that access to the symbol of the church can be traced back to different perspectives and perceptions.

Kirchliche Kommunikation kalkulieren

Systemtheoretische Perspektiven für die Lutherdekade 2017

Frank Uhlhorn

Volume 18 in this series

Within mass media, one can rarely hear the voice of the Church. There is no lack of empirical attempts to solve the problem by means of the usual PR and advertising techniques, but they appear to have been of limited success. This study seeks a new approach. The likelihood of communication reaching its intended target audience can be improved by using a systems theory based calculus.

Praktische Theologie der Bestattung

Volume 17 in this series

At a burial, death is placed within an interpretive existential framework and solemnized in ritual. The life that was lived is comfortingly evoked by means of culturally specific symbols. This volume examines the practical-theological perception of current burial practices using the interdisciplinary framework of cultural studies.

Religion and Public Reason

A Comparison of the Positions of John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas and Paul Ricœur

Maureen Junker-Kenny

Volume 16 in this series

This book compares three approaches to public reason and to the public space accorded to religions: the liberal platform of an overlapping consensus proposed by John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas’s discourse ethical reformulation of Kant’s universalism and its realization in the public sphere, and the co-founding role which Paul Ricoeur attributes to the particular traditions that have shaped their cultures and the convictions of citizens.
The premises of their positions are analysed under four aspects: (1) the normative framework which determines the specific function of public reason; (2) their anthropologies and theories of action; (3) the dimensions of social life and its concretization in a democratic political framework; (4) the different views of religion that follow from these factors, including their understanding of the status of metaphysical and religious truth claims, and the role of religion as a practice and conviction in a pluralist society. Recent receptions and critiques in English and German are brought into conversation: philosophers and theologians discuss the scope of public reason, and the task of translation from faith traditions, as well as the role they might have in the diversity of world cultures for shaping a shared cosmopolitan horizon.

Ich nenn' es einfach jetzt mal Leben

Lebensdeutung und Dogmatik im hermeneutischen Dialog

Jonathan Schwarz

Volume 15 in this series

One step along the path toward overcoming the crisis of Christian faith has been a hermeneutic transformation of Christian dogmatics. To accomplish this aim, this book brings empirically derived life interpretations into dialogue with a hermeneutic interpretation of the theology of Karl Barth. By combining empirical, hermeneutic, and dogmatic methods, one can derive a critical impetus for a hermeneutical (re)orientation of Christian theology.

Volume 14 in this series

This study examines the meanings, patterns, and structures of religion as experienced by the elderly. Its focus is on questions related to the meaning of life. In addition to identifying dimensions of meaning in old age, the work also seeks to develop a suitable research design for the empirical study of this question. It is sure to be of considerable interest to researchers studying religion in the elderly as well as researchers of practical theology.

Volume 13 in this series

Persons with dementia present a challenge for theology and pastoral care. In a dialogue with traditional theological, medical, social psychological, and nursing science approaches, this work develops a practical theological method for describing and counseling persons suffering from dementia. It then elucidates specific forms of appropriate pastoral care for persons with dementia, including religious worship, biography work, bibliodrama, pastoral care for the body, and spiritual care of the dying.

Kirche und Europa

Protestantische Ekklesiologie im Horizont europäischer Zivilgesellschaft

Monica Schreiber

Volume 12 in this series

The process of European integration is presenting the churches of Europe with new challenges. Applying a combination of social-scientific, historical and theological methods, the author investigates the self-understanding and the Europe concept of Christian and Islamic organizations within European civil society. The study points towards an ecclesiastical concept that enables a combination of fundamental Protestant concerns and societal conditions in Europe.

The study received the award Wissenschaftspreis of Hanns-Lilje-Stiftung 2013 (Link).

Kritische Untersuchungen zur Geistlichen Begleitung als Beitrag zum Spiritualitätsdiskurs

Volume 11 in this series

In the counseling field, a type of consultation is increasingly being offered that focuses on spiritual topics, generally known as “spiritual guidance”. This study explores various guidance models and discusses which aspects can support spiritual processes particularly effectively in our postmodern world. As basis for this analysis, the author explains and interprets Dietrich Bonhoeffer's letters from prison in today's context.

Das unternehmerische Selbst der Kirche

Eine Diskursanalyse

Birgit Klostermeier

Volume 10 in this series

The marketability of the popular church, its growth, criticism and theological legitimacy have been the subject of an ecclesiastical discourse since the early 1990s. This study not only deals with the subject matter itself, but also looks at how it is addressed in the discourse. Michel Foucault’s concept of subject and power and its current reformulation in governmentality studies form the basis and framework of the analysis. In this way scholarly self-enlightenment provides a well-focussed mirror for the current ecclesiastic discourse.

Lebenswissenschaft Praktische Theologie?!

Thomas Klie, Martina Kumlehn, Ralph Kunz, Thomas Schlag

Volume 9 in this series

Religion as a cultural interpretative system is not conceivable without reference to the phenomenon of “life”, which is articulated and displayed in the most diverse life styles. Life as it is being lived is always presupposed, and this fact has a profound impact on religious interpretations. However, the controversial dynamics of developments in the fields of science called the “life sciences” are now leading to significant changes in cultural perception and interpretation, which also demand new interpretation efforts in the theological perspective. This book seeks to meet this challenge.

Das Zusammenwirken von Musik- und Wortsprache als Zeichen gottesdienstlicher Polyphonie

Beatrice Kunz Pfeiffer

Volume 8 in this series

A church service is concerned with the renewal of life. Thus art, e.g. music, plays a central role: it gives scope to deal with different perspectives on life and reaches beyond every-day experience to transcendental experience. In its own way, music achieves the objective at which the gospel of the crucifixion and resurrection aims: the worshiping community is "enchanted" into becoming alive and human. The model of incantation demonstrates how music and words can combine in liturgy to achieve this goal.

Religionsunterricht als Praxis der Freiheit

Überlegungen zu einer religionsdidaktisch orientierten Theorie gläubigen Handelns

Markus Tomberg

Volume 7 in this series

Current discussions on the meaning and objective of religious education in schools are also debating the denominational profile of such education. This study aims to determine this profile more precisely by defining religious didactics as part of the exercise of Christian faith. Thus, the study not only links religious learning with the Christian practice of faith but also provides guidance in determining and ascertaining this practice of faith in learning processes. In doing so, the study makes a statement from a Catholic perspective on the learnability of faith.

Politische, rechtshermeneutische und pädagogische Untersuchungen zum europäischen Bildungsauftrag in evangelischer Perspektive

Heike Lindner

Volume 6 in this series

Since 11th September 2001, religious formation and education have again been up for discussion. The challenges of contemporary society not only demand enlightenment in religious matters, but also require education in practical tolerance for dialogue to take place between religions, without suspending the issue of truth. In a critical evaluation of PISA and other studies, the book establishes how much latitude there really is in the relationship between Church and State under European law and the laws of the member-states, and puts forward proposals for a “religious literacy” in Europe.

Realitäten des Glaubens

Zur virtuellen Dimension christlicher Religiosität

Ilona Nord

Volume 5 in this series

Virtual realities are computer-mediated communication spaces. They are also to be found in religion. In its first part, the volume contains contributions to a practical theological understanding of virtual realities. The second part is concerned with liturgy and preaching from the perspective of media theory. The volume demonstrates how closely media and religion or faith are related to each other where the perception of reality is concerned. Christian religion and Christian faith deal with reality in a constructive manner.

Praktische Theologie des Alterns

Thomas Klie, Martina Kumlehn, Ralph Kunz

Volume 4 in this series

The papers in this volume on the practical theology of aging aim to engage with fundamental discourses in gerontology to reflect on central aspects of aging such as corporality, wisdom, memory, perception of time, generation, places, reality of media. In addition, the disciplines of practical theology are interrogated about their ability to increase their competence in perceiving, interpreting and acting upon the specific problems posed by aging. Here they engage in debate with neighbouring disciplines in the human sciences.

Enters an up-to-date and fundamental discourse in gerontology

Aufgehobene Verborgenheit

Gotteslehre als Weg zum Gottesdienst

Insa Meyer-Rohrschneider

Volume 3 in this series

The study uses historical models from systematic theology with reference to Biblical traditions and draws on philosophical concepts to demonstrate how the concealment of God is a necessary correlate of his revelation, but one which must be overcome. It becomes clear that the dialectic of God's invisibility and visibility is related both to the inner relationship of God and man, but also to their relationship to each other. When invisibility is transformed into revelation, God and Man are realised in and with each other. This happens especially in liturgy.

Das gewisse Etwas

Phänomenologische Ansätze in der Religionspädagogik

Klaus Kirchhoff

Volume 2 in this series

For some years now there has been talk of phenomenological approaches in the discussions around religious education and practical theology. Multi-faceted concepts such as lifeworld (“Lebenswelt”), everyday or perception have been mobilised to point the formation of theory in a new direction. The motif of “closeness to life” (“Lebensnähe”) plays a central role in this. But what are we to understand by phenomenology? Contemplating the philosophical origins of the concept, this study reflects on the opportunities and limitations of phenomenological conceptions and their significance for religious education.

Geöffnete Augen - gedeutete Zeichen

Historisch-systematische und erzähltheoretisch-hermeneutische Studien zur Rezeption und Didaktik des Johannesevangeliums in der modernen Religionspädagogik

Martina Kumlehn

Volume 1 in this series

Martina Kumlehn undertakes the first study of the chequered history of the reception accorded to St John’s Gospel in 20th century conceptions of religious education; in five individual studies she describes an arc from liberal religious education to symbol didactics. The sixth study proposes its own approach to bible didactics which engages with Paul Ricoeur’s narrative theory to take up the particular narratology of St John’s Gospel and reflect on it didactically. Placed within the area of conflict between phenomenology and semiotics, St John’s Gospel is presented as a school of perception and a catalyst for pluralist readings.
